 This is my CCR blog.

Overall, this experience was very fun and unique. When we started I thought it was going to be harder and less enjoyable. But as I got into the process I had a good time. To me, the hardest part of the project was planning the video. Deciding a song was very tough because we were keeping in mind story lines we could do for a each song. After we decided the song though ideas started flowing in. We made the story board and though everything would be shot as we planned. But as we got into shooting we had different ideas. The plot stayed the same but the shots werent exactly the same. Overall, it was very enjoyable and I had a lot of fun shooting.

 Today me and my group finished our commercial. We did this by finishing all the editing that went in our music video. We thought we were done with the editing but in fact we weren’t. We still had to add some final touches. These final touches included sound and visual aspects of the video. First off, we began fixing some filters. We realized some of the filters looked corny and unprofessional. So we took those filters out and either changed them or plain removed them. This took a little bit as we were trying to make it perfect. Overall it was worth it though because it really tied together our commercial. Like in scenes when the character was sad the filter took away the emotion of the scene. So we removed the filter from that scene. Then after that we realized the music video was a second shorter than it needed to be. So what we did was slightly extend some clips. This made it so there still wasn’t anything that isn’t supposed to be in the video. But most importantly it makes the vid

  Today was yet another day of working on the music video. After filming we now have to edit the clips and put them all together. Since we had all our best clips in one folder it made it a lot easier to edit. One thing we had to do was put the clips in order according to the storyboard. We had the order of the scenes already planned out in the storyboard. After that we added the music to the video. We added the song pompeii to the audio of the music video as that is what song we are doing our music video on. We then took out the audio from all the other clips so the song was the only audio. Then, we trimmed each clip. We trimmed each clip to fit the music and the beat. We also trimmed it so it would fit the time requirement for the music video. We did this by either taking a couple seconds off the end of each clip or taking out parts where we brok character at the end of the scene and didnt stop recording in time. We then added all our effects to the video. Some effects we added includ

 Today was another day of working on our music video. Our group had another day of production. Today we worked on many things. First, we touched up some scenes that we filmed the previous day. Like we reshot a couple scenes that needed it as well as reviewing all our scenes. We picked out the take we liked of each scene and put them all in a folder. After that we began filming new scenes. We filmed the scenes we didnt get to in the previous day. All the scenes we filmed took place inside. We used our friend Zane's house for the setting. We turned his house back into our set and began filming. Our set was to make the room look like a hospital room. We then filmed the scenes where the grandpa dies. This is the scene where we need to add the sound effect. The sound effect will be of the main characters heart monitor flat lining. We took another mental note in our heads to add this. We then filmed some scenes where the author is an adult. We did this because we didnt quite finish filmi

 My name is Luke Hamill and today me and my group finished our first day of filming our commercial. We filmed our project at a group members house. The name of the group member whos house we used was Zane Knapp. When we first got to his house we left to go film the scenes that needed to be filmed outside due to the weather being good. We didnt want to wait incase it rained. Our first location we filmed at was the park because those scenes take place outside, while playing sports at the park. Our main actor was Zane Knapp as he played the old man. We used one of the group members little brothers to be our child actor in our music video. He played in the scenes where our main character was a child. While another group member played our characters father. After we got our scenes done outside we went back to Zane's house. There we filmed the scenes that took place indoors. These scenes took place in a hospital. We then filmed the first couple scenes where the actor is the old man in th
